Wednesday, December 19 marks the first meeting between the Pacers and Raptors this season. Indiana lost at the buzzer on Tuesday to the Cavaliers. Toronto last played Sunday finishing up their four game western road trip with a loss in Denver.
Last season, Toronto won the season series taking three of the four games. In fact, the Raptors haven’t lost a series to Indiana since the 2011-12 season. The Pacers hold the all-time record having bested the Raptors in 47 of their 85 matches.
Indiana Pacers
In preseason I earmarked the Pacers as one of the upper Eastern squads and they’ve been delivering. Most impressive was how Indiana played while Victor Oladipo was out as the Pacers registered a 7-4 record in his absence.

Last week the Pacers finally landed on pundits radar with key victories over the Bucks and 76ers, the teams who at the time were both sitting ahead of Indiana.

Indy will no doubt be looking to rebound from an uncharacteristically lackadaisical effort in their loss Tuesday to the Cavaliers.
Tyreke Evans (right knee contusion) missed the New York game but returned on Tuesday so should be good to play on Wednesday.
Toronto Raptors
Nick Nurse was fined $15,000 for his complaints regarding Kawhi Leonard not getting calls and how teams are being allowed to guard the Raptors without calls. Nurse has a point given the sheer number of his top players who’ve sustained injuries via opponents actions.
Each of Norman Powell, Jonas Valanciunas, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby all missed time as a direct result of an opponent blow.

VanVleet and Siakam who got injured in Portland are expected back. Powell (shoulder subluxation) missed 22 games but is expected back versus Indiana.
Kyle Lowry (thigh contusion) missed the last two games and is questionable for Wednesday.
Most concerning is the frontcourt, as Serge Ibaka (knee swelling) may have to sit while Valanciunas (surgery on dislocated thumb) will miss a minimum of four weeks of action.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Over is 15-6 in Raptors last 21 home games.
- Pacers are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 head to head games.
- Raptors are 6-4 in last 10 head to head contests.
- Over-Under is 4-6 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups
Free Indiana Pacers vs.Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
This match takes on major implications at the top of the East as the Pacers sit 2.5 games back of Toronto in third. Toronto could be without five of their top seven players available due to injury.
The greatest impact for Toronto is the two ends of the lineups as point guards Lowry and VanVleet could be out and if Ibaka’s knee doesn’t improve he’ll join center Valanciunas on the sidelines.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Injury report key, but bet on Raptors at home
Much depends on who can play in this match. The Pacers are on a back to back set, but this is the Raptors first game after a Western road trip and they enter extremely banged up. Best to check the pregame report for up to minute updates.
